The Office for State and Local Law Enforcement Strategic Plan

The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office for State and Local Law Enforcement (OSLLE) serves as the connection between federal efforts and the critical contributions of state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus (SLTTC) law enforcement agencies in keeping our communities safe. Recognizing the paramount importance of these partnerships, OSLLE is dedicated to enhancing communication, coordination, and sharing of information and resources across all levels of law enforcement to safeguard the Nation against emerging threats.

SLTTC law enforcement agencies play a fundamental role within the homeland security enterprise by providing essential on-the-ground intelligence, rapid response capabilities, and a direct link to the communities they serve. These agencies are often the first to identify and address local threats, making their role in the homeland security mission space indispensable. As frontline defenders, they bridge the gap between local concerns and federal objectives, ensuring a comprehensive and unified approach to homeland security.

OSLLE's strategic plan is designed to fortify this collaboration by setting clear, actionable goals that enhance the operational effectiveness of SLTTC partners. These goals are grounded in the principles of shared responsibility, mutual respect, and the recognition that security challenges are best met with unified responses.
